Your saying nice things about the (mostly former) Twitter employees reminded me of what seems to be an increasingly common phenomenon lately, where things that we mock are replaced by ones that are So Much Worse, that we look back wistfully on what we thought was awful at the time. I've recently gotten into a UK-based podcast that started several years ago, and am listening to the back catalog. They had an episode specifically talking about satire, and from the perspective of now, it feels so *weird* to think of a time when PM John Major was considered a major satirical target.
